A history of Old English literature
A HISTORY OF OLD ENGLISH LITERATURE
A History of Old English Literature has been significantly revised to provide an unequivocal response to the renewed historicism in medieval studies. Focusing on the production and reception of Old English texts and on their relation to Anglo-Saxon history and culture, this new edition covers an exceptionally broad array of genres. These range from riddles and cryptograms to allegory, liturgical texts, and romance, as well as lyric poetry and heroic legend. The authors also integrate discussions of Anglo-Latin texts, crucial to understanding the development of Old English literature.
This second edition incorporates extensive reference to scholarship that has evolved over the past decade, with new chapters on both Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and on incidental and marginal texts. There is expanded treatment throughout, including increased coverage of legal texts and scientific and scholastic texts. The book concludes with a retrospective outline of the reception of Anglo-Saxon literature and culture in subsequent periods.

Some Emendations and Non-Emendations in \Beowulf\ (Verses 600a, 976a, 1585b, 1663b, 1740a, 2525b, 2771a, and 3060a)
The following discussion of cruces in Beowulf is thus offered after his example, explaining the reasoning behind certain of the textual and interpretive choices that are most likely to be adopted in the forthcoming revised edition of Klaeber's work.1 In most instances, a change to the text is advocated, though in some places reasons to doubt Klaeber's readings are answered and his decisions corroborated. Degemination after an unstressed vowel, as in irena for irenna, \"of irons\" (673, 1697, 2259), could have an etymological cause, though more likely it is due to normal late spelling practices.40 However, simplification does not normally occur after a stressed vowel except at the end of a word (e.g., heal, mon) or after a consonant (e.g., eorlic for eorllic [637]).41 The two exceptions in Beowulf have obvious causes: hetende (1828) is most likely influenced by hete (lic), hetol (so Klaeber in his edition, lxxxiv), and hh is simplified between vowels in genehost (794) because in intervocalic position it could not contrast with simple h, since this was lost in the late prehistoric period: cf. geneahe (Genesis A, 2844; Homiletic Fragment I, 36), genehe (Maldon, 269).
